Hotel Basico
Located just steps from the ocean in the bustling centre of Playa del Carmen, the Basico attracts a style-savvy young crowd with fifteen quirky rooms distributed over four floors. Here, traditional ideas of everyday Mexico ar brought to life: References to public schools, "cantinas" and the petroleum industry permeate the property, and most aspects of Héctor Galvan's design are made of recycled materials like plumbing pipes, wood, cotton, rubber tires, plastic, glass, even latex. Made from a mixture of concrete and Caribbean sand, the building fits perfectly with the local beach atmosphere. Inside, lush plants, colourful details and rich textures remind guests of the country's popular culture.
